The Dance Dance Revolution series has survived as long as it has because of the strong soundtracks and established rhythm. It has survived because the DDR games are kinetic! There is a connection to the music - much like Amplitude, Guitar Hero and Rock Band. While I do not have much experience with the latter two, I loved Amplitude because it had you hopping all over various tracks - bringing the songs to life! It was an awesome experience the first time I played through. And in some ways, it still is. However, I'm getting a tad distracted. There's a new rhythm game that wants to step into a genre that some consider stuffed to the gills. This game is B-Boy, and it might make you perform the "breaking dance."

Now what does TO have to do with B-Boy? Maybe nothing; maybe everything. If B-Boy is what I think that it is then the game is about dancing and showboating, something that TO seems to take more serious than football. Maybe he should become a break-dancer that way he can finally be in the spotlight all by himself."

Even if you can't dance due to being in a wheelchair (like me) or you simply don't have the right moves, you can show what your made of in video game land. The latest game to let you show off your smooth moves is a game developed by FreeStyle Games and published by Southpeak Interactive. That game is B-Boy, which is available for the Sony PSP and the Playstation 2."

"Video game collecting is not just a hobby for completionist dorks any more. More and more gamers are starting to see their favorite pastime as a potential investment, as the popularity of old games means that certain titles are in less and less supply. The older and more obscure a gaming system, the better chance that its more sought after titles will fetch a high price on Ebay or other auction sites. "
If by rare and collectible, they mean...20 bucks at Gamestop...then, yes. These are all rare and collectible.
The thing is to get these games while they're still in production...not to get that after they've already become rare.
I've got a pretty large collection probably worth thousands on ebay, games from every single system that are rare and worth money. Like Panzer Dragoon Saga, which I bought when it came out at Toysrus for 5 bucks brand new, never opened it and its now probably worth a few hundred dollars on ebay. It was on clearance because the Sega Saturn had pretty much died right when the game came out, which is why I got it for so cheap.
Innocent Life and the NIS title are the only games I could see on that list becoming collectibles. Harvest Moon games have always been collectibles in the past because of the cult following, only recently has the series gotten more mainstream attention and thus more games being produced. But since Innocent Life has remained mostly obscure and has a very limited production, this game will most definitely become worth more in the future. I already have a copy of this game and its still untouched factory sealed!
I got the game but i lost the casing ..
Wonder how much that is worth :P
It is a pretty good game, Does feel realistic and the psp control isnt hat great if you play this game for over 30 minutes my hands started to hurt. Nothing beats a good old gamepad.
not completely related: On ps3, there's the "uncensored" version of LBP that can fetch high prices.
